Public bug reported:
On Xenial, trying to release a package targeted for zesty:
$ dpkg-query -W devscripts
devscripts 2.16.2ubuntu3
info dch says:
--release, -r
Finalize the changelog for a release. Update the changelog
timestamp. If the distribution is set to UNRELEASED, change it
to the distribution from the previous changelog entry (or
another distribution as specified by --distribution).
Yet on Ubuntu Xenial if I dch --release on a product where
debian/changelog contains changelogs referencing zesty, my resulting
debian/changelog diff still is set to xenial
$ head -n 10 debian/changelog
curtin (0.1.0~bzr532-0ubuntu1~17.04.1ubuntu1) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium
